In the confusion, even if 1996 was officially over, Li Feng returned to Los Angeles to spend New Year's day with his family.
At the end of this year, although there are various lists, there are still few. Many lists familiar to future generations have not been opened yet.
Therefore, at this meeting at the end of the year, Li Feng was a lot more free, without the encirclement and interception of the media. After all, it was not the era of so developed information, mobile Internet and everyone forwarding. He spent the last few days of 1996 in Li Feng's leisure.
"Boss, the gymnasium construction project has been officially established, and an agreement has been reached with the Los Angeles municipal government. Next, we will have a landmark building center in Los Angeles." As soon as he got to the office that day, Adam went to Li Feng's office and said excitedly.
"Oh, have you finally reached an agreement?" Li Feng then replied with a smile.
"Indeed, and we have reached an agreement with ansuchi entertainment group to set up a century stadium operation company to operate the Century Center after our establishment, but Mr. ansuchi hopes to meet you."
"Oh, that's the oil tycoon?" Li Feng replied with a smile.
"From his mouth, I generally found that he is interested in investing in sports and entertainment, and boss, you are a new generation of entertainment media tycoon.
After we invested in the construction of the Century Center this time, people with clear eyes know that we have the intention to develop in the sports chain again. It is estimated that Philip Anschutz has found our intention and feels similar to his own ideas. Therefore, he should want further cooperation. " Adam then explained his speculation.
"I'm also curious about what he wants to see me for, Adam. Please help arrange it and meet this oil tycoon from Colorado sometime."
……
Speaking of the century sports center, we have to start with the occasional time when Li Feng was pulled by Charlize to watch the NBA and the Lakers.
Charlize likes basketball very much. As a loyal fan of the NBA, and the Lakers in Los Angeles have a prominent history, they naturally become the favorite team of the American diamond in South Africa.
In his previous life, Li Feng can also see the figures of Hollywood stars on the sidelines of Staples Center from time to time from the news, and South African American diamond can often see them.
Li Feng, who is not familiar with the history of the Lakers, was pulled by Charlize to today's Lakers home stadium - the Great Western Forum stadium. Well, Li Feng heard about this stadium for the first time.
I always thought it was the staples stadium, but I didn't know what it was called the Great Western Forum stadium until I arrived. At that time, Li Feng had the idea of looking for the Staples Center. As a result, Adam found some information, but there was no such stadium at all.
Li Feng naturally heard about the world-famous Staples Center and immediately thought why he didn't build such a venue.
With this mentality, I told Adam that Adam was also very interested at that time. He said that this was one of the multi-directional development directions of the real estate company. Go back to the company to discuss it and have a try.
Considering that the real estate company had no experience in operating stadiums and gymnasiums, he immediately had the psychology of acquiring an operating company. Regardless of the specific situation, Li Feng handed it over to Adam and put down his mind temporarily.
Li Feng didn't know how Adam operated the contact. Anyway, Anschutz entertainment group finally entered the field of vision. Then he contacted Philip Anschutz, who was preparing to show his strength around sports and entertainment. Then he stopped talking. It was a hit.
It's better to do business in Meidi. In fact, most founders don't mind the dilution of the company's equity. They pay more attention to the prospect of the enterprise. Philip Anschutz welcomed Li Feng's willingness to cooperate.
As for Anschutz entertainment group, Li Fengmao seems to have heard of it in the past. It is said that it is one of the largest stadium operating companies in the world in the future. It is a success. It was only after paying attention to Staples Center that I simply understood it. It is said that staples is operated by them, but I didn't pay special attention to it.
……
At this time, Philip anshutz has begun to lay out the surrounding sports. His anshutz group has a lot of shares in American and imperial sports teams, including football, ice hockey and football. They are laying out basketball. This time, they are interested in the Lakers and have the idea of preparing to build a new sports center.
Anschutz is also the first time to operate the stadium, so he doesn't have much experience. After considering the cooperation plan of skyline real estate, Anschutz found a new opportunity, that is, Li Feng, the upstart in the United States behind skyline real estate.
Li Feng's entertainment media company is now known as a powerful communication group second only to traditional media. It can also be regarded as a powerful presence in Hollywood.
In his opinion, Hollywood stars naturally have the ability to attract people's attention. If we can connect the operation of stadiums and stadiums with the stars in Hollywood, it won't work if the stadiums don't attract attention.
It has to be said that there is no reason why Staples Center can be famous all over the world. This operation concept is actually one of the operation concepts of Staples Center in the future.
Many people in later generations attribute the operation concept of Hollywood stars next to Staples Center to old bass. In today's Li Feng's view, this is not accurate. You know, Staples Center is not old Bass's industry.
The formal operation is the operation of ansutz entertainment group, that is to say, the central operation strategy is actually decided by ansutz group, and old bass has no decision-making power.
Besides, in the United States, the bath family is not a big family, while Philip anschuz is not ordinary. This is a real rich second generation, a traditional rich family.
His father is a generation of oil tycoons of the United States. As early as the 1980s, his family wealth was calculated in billions of dollars, which is regarded as a low-key traditional rich family. To put it bluntly, only such a big family can influence those Hollywood stars and the giants behind them. To say, the bass family is still a little worse.
……
Li Feng from later generations knows very well that although later generations always say that the sports industry has a market scale of $100 billion a year, it is not possible to say that sports teams can make more money. You can't see how many European football teams in later generations have business difficulties and face bankruptcy.
However, its influence is large enough. Before, Li Feng had the intention to intervene in it. Now, an expert like Ann Schutz is willing to work together, and Li Feng doesn't mind. Therefore, the request for meeting put forward by ANN Schutz was naturally agreed.
It's not that there are no profitable teams, but generally speaking, upstream and downstream can make money, such as brokerage companies, sports stars, venue operators, competition operators and so on.
It can be said that those teams do not make money, but rely on their upstream and downstream to make a lot of money. Similarly, it can be said that these are the real giants hidden behind them.
Naturally, Li Feng doesn't mind becoming one of them. If he can control his upstream and downstream, he doesn't feel bad about buying several teams to expand his influence in the future.
In this way, we can take the team as the center and control the upstream and downstream together, so as to get the maximum benefits.
After looking at the construction site of the sports center in his hand, Li Feng increasingly feels that the stadium is a replica of the Staples Center in the future. Even the construction site is the original staples location, that is, the name has become the Century Center.
Obviously, this is the product of cooperation with Anschutz group, which developed the Staples Center in previous generations. Li Feng has no reason to overthrow it. After all, the history of his previous life has proved the success of his operation. He just needs to wait for the results.
……
I thought, this is definitely one of the best gifts for the new year. The new year has a new atmosphere and a good start!
